  • God, she kills me!!

    ....Bethanie....
  • I'm gonna have to read up on her.
  • I'm going to miss her writings. She was an important voice to me, and was part of my list of good things about Texas. I met her briefly at the "March for Women's Lives" in Washington DC in 2004 and was as impressed by her in real life as I was impressed by her persona in writing.

  • I consider her up there with Paul Wellstone* in terms of having changed politics for the better.

    [*] That's high praise, coming from me, if you didn't know.
    • Heh. I saw Wellstone in person once, during the runup to the 1992 Presidential campaign. I had somehow managed to be elected by a Democratic caucus to the district delegation, and in the midst of all the blah-blah by various speakers for various Presidential candidates, Wellstone showed up and gave a rip-roaring speech. How such a little person (he was short) could electrify a room like that, I don't know. Hell, I don't even have the foggiest what he was ranting about anymore, but he sure fired people up.

If all else fails, lower your standards.
